the sentence is "gli elementi piu' urlati in un video"

referring to the most aggressive features or the features that publishers want to impose to strike the public.

What's the English equivalent in this figurative sense?

Thanks

"Thus Danny Lyon opts for the concept of the personal record, ....with the individuals and situations he is portraying: from his FORCEFUL SHOTS OF LIFE in a texas gaol ..."

"Quite possibly, HIS SEQUENCES, AND ALSO HIS INDIVIDUAL SHOTS, ACQUIRE GREATER FORCEFULNESS in the work titled Max Kozloff, published by way of an accompaniment to his travelling exhibitions held at a number of U.S. institutions."

The term "force of an image" is quite prevalent in our language, suggesting a strong and aggressive impact when simply saying "aggressive" would sound a little out of context.
These images show the root of such usage in a noun form:

"Now 89, Morricone is still producing great music. But even among a career of celebrated highs, 50 years on Once Upon a Time in the West stands as his opus. An unparalleled DRIVING FORCE OF THE IMAGES and story it serves."
https://www.scotsman.com/read-this/once-upon-a-time-in-the-w...

"Again, contrast The Cell, where the whole point of the film, for the audience, is to get inside Carl Stargher’s mind, to experience the compelling imaginative FORCE OF THE IMAGES and motifs that make up his misogynistic, necrophilic outlook."

...Therefore using "forceful" as an extension of "force of an image" would definitely convey the correct idea.
